TAILORS ORDER-BLANK.

To all whom t may concern:

Be it known that I, I-IENRY CARLTON DIXON, a citizen ofthe vUnited States, and a resident of Tulsa, in the county of Tulsa and State of Oklahoma, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Tailors Order-Blanks, of which the following is a specification.

My invention is an improvement 1n tailors order blanks, and has for its object to provide a blank of the character specified which, in addition to a complete record of the customers measurements, will furnish one or more photographic views of the customer, in order that the tailor may have before him a photograph showing the physical peculiarities of the customer.

In the drawings:

Figure 1 is a front view of the improved blank;

Fig. 2 is an edge view.

In the present embodiment of the invention, a series of originals and a series of duplicates is provided, the'said series being arranged in alternating order, and vthe printed matter yupon the originals 1 and duplicates 2 is the same, being the measurements for the coat, vest, trousers and overcoat. 1`

Referring to Fig. l, it will be noticed that each original is of greater length than the duplicate, being extended beyond the dupli cate at the upper end thereof as indicated at 3, and each original has a transverse line 4 of partial separation, just below the upper end of the adjacent duplicate. Preferably the duplicates are secured to the rear faces of the originals just above the line 4, and the lower portion of the original, that is, that portion below the line 4 and which carries the written measurements, may be detached from the duplicate.

Referring to Fig. l, it will be seen that that portion of the original below the line 4 is provided with a space 5 having blanks for the coat measurements, a space 6 having blanks for the vest measurements, and a space 7 having blanks for the trousers measurements. In addition, there is another space 8 which carries blanks for remarks and for overcoat measurements. It will'be understood that the adjacent face of the duplicate is provided with similar spaces carrying similar blanks and similar printed matter. The measurements set forth on the spaces 5,

6, and 7 and 8 are the usualmeasurements for this purpose.

That portion 3 of the original, namely, the portion above the line 4, is designed to carry a photograph of the customer, namely,

a back view and a side-view. It is obvious that additional views might be provided for if desired, as, for instance, a front view. It is thought, however, that two views will be sufiicient. These views may be pasted or otherwise secured upon the extension 3 and the spaces 9 and l0 for the said views have suitable legends for indicating their purpose, the said legends in the present instance being Back view and Side view.

In use, the measurements are made in the usual manner, and are entered on the original, a sheet of carbon paper being interposed between the original and the duplicate in order that the entries on the original will be duplicated on the duplicate. The two views of the customer are taken and pasted on the spaces 9 and 10. After this has been done that portion of the original below the line 4 may be separated and retained as a record, the duplicate with the photographsV being sent to the mail order house or wherever else desired. If desired, the spaces 9 and 10 of the original may be sensitized in in properly altering clothing. For instance,

should there be a wrinkle at any point, this point maybe exactly indicated on the picture. It will be understood that as a rule a tape measure or tape line or ruler will be taken in the picture at the same time .as the picture of the customer, in order to obtain a scale of measurement. It may be found advisable, in practice, to take the customers pictureV at the time the measurements are taken. j pack. When taken, the films are Vproperly identified, and may be attached tothe blanks These may be taken in a roll or Y at its upper end and having a transverse* line of partial separation below lthe upper` and afterward developed to obtain the `pic'- ture. The arrangement is as suitable'for use in ladies garments as in mens garments.

I claim:

1. An order blank of the character specilied comprising an original and -a duplicate,

the original extending beyond the duplicate adapted to beseparated lfrom the remainder after it has been filed to furnish a record, whileV the remaining portion is forwarded for the filling of the order.

2. An order blank of the character specified comprising an original and a duplicate, the original extending beyond the duplicate at its upper end and having a transverse line of partial kseparation below the upper end of the duplicate, the Vduplicate being attached just above the transverse kline of partial separation, that portion of the original below the line and the duplicate having corresponding data printed thereon, Iindicating the measurements of the customer.
